Chapter 299: Obtaining an Unfair Advantage, Great Acting Skills!

Ling Yun pointed his finger at Lu Chengtian and barked, “You! Come here!”

Lu Chengtian had seen how Ling Yun had beaten Gou Junfa to pulp. Therefore, he dared not offend him even though he didn’t understand why he was being singled out. “W-what is it?”

“Rascal, how much money did you extort from me with Gou Junfa in the past few years? Give it all back now!” Ling Yun smirked.

Stupid Gou Junfa, didn’t I tell you that I don’t want to come! See what’s happening? I am being picked on! Lu Chengtian panicked and berated Gou Junfa in his heart.

Lu Chengtian couldn’t care less about his pride. He shook his head submissively and smiled. “B-Brother Ling, how could I remember such details….”

Ling Yun had only picked Lu Chengtian out at random. He didn’t know who Lu Chengtian was! He became furious upon hearing that he had actually been bullied. “You can’t remember? You have to pay me back now even if you don’t remember! I will throw you down from here if you don’t pay me back before they come back!”

Ling Yun then turned his attention to Huang Mao and Pi Hezhi. “Both of you as well! Let’s settle it all since all of us are present today,” Ling Yun said coldly. “Yes, as well as medical expenses and mental trauma from you bullying me. Umm… Tang Meng, what other expenses are there?”

Ling Yun consulted Tang Meng as his imagination hit its limits.

Tang Meng had been worrying about the one hundred million yuan that Ling Yun had promised. He was very clear about Ling Yun’s finances. He did have thirty three million, and Ling Yun had said that he had about ten million on hand. With the ten million that he had transferred to Ning Lingyu, there was only fifty odd million yuan! Where was he going to get the remaining forty million?

Tang Meng knew that Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan could probably obtain a hundred million yuan if they were forced to jump over the wall. What would happen then?

As a result, Tang Meng was caught off-guard and didn’t hear Ling Yun’s question. “Er… what?”

Ling Yun glared at Tang Meng and repeated helplessly, “I said they used to bully me. What reparations should we get back from them now?!”

“Ah?!” It was Tang Meng’s turn to be speechless.

Boss was really quite a character. He had had fun toying with Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan just now, so what was he doing with small tugs like Lu Chengtian now?

Fees? A million yuan from them wouldn’t be of much help. Did he really think that Uncle Song was someone to be trifled with?

Song Zhengyang was intrigued by the sudden revelation that this seemingly mighty Ling Yun had been bullied and hurt by Gou Junfa and his gang for three whole years!

How had Ling Yun reversed the situation?

“Forget it, it’s useless asking you. Tie Xiaohu, what else is there?” Ling Yun switched his target to Tie Xiaohu.

“Big Brother Yun, their most serious wrongdoing is that they delayed your studies.” Tie Xiaohu snorted, responding irresponsibly.

Ling Yun acknowledged with satisfaction. “Did you hear that? I am so smart. If it wasn’t because of you lot delaying my studies, how could I possibly be last in class? How would I be able to enter Yanjing University? Aren’t you trying to con me of a hundred million yuan since you know I won’t be able to make it?”

Alright, the impressive Big Brother Yun had somehow turned the situation around and accused them of trying to con him. He was shamelessly being on the receiving end of unfair advantage.

Song Zhengyang finally couldn’t keep his thoughts to himself. “Ling Yun… D-Did you just say that you are always the last in the class?”

Taking advantage of the fact that he had finally elicited a response from Uncle Song, he put on an air of being wronged. “Isn’t it? Uncle Song, I have been bullied by them every day for the past three years. Other than hitting and humiliating me everyday, they even extorted protection fees from me! It’s time to strike back after bearing it for so long. Don’t you think so?”

Ling Yun painted himself in a very miserable light. He was a totally different person from the Ling Yun who had put Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan down!

Tang Meng had stopped trying to figure out how to obtain the remaining forty million as he listened. It was extremely uncomfortable to fight the urge to laugh out loud.

However, these were facts that everyone in Qingshui High knew. No one could deny it.

Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng secretly gave each other a thumbs-up, paying homage to Ling Yun’s great acting skills.

Song Zhengyang frowned slightly. It was all very peculiar, but it wasn’t the time to go into detail. He asked Lu Chengtian gently, “Are Ling Yun’s claims true?”

Lu Chengtian and Huang Mao were mortified. They nodded their heads earnestly, scared sh*tless.

That settled it. If they were given a chance to choose again, they would rather die than support Gou Junfa tonight.

Song Zhengyang knew instantly from their behavior that Ling Yun was speaking the truth. His face sunk and his eyelids drooped. He didn’t show any other expression, but Song Zhengyang’s sunken face spoke a thousand words.

Ling Yun cackled. “What are you waiting for? Think back and give me a total figure immediately! Don’t you see that I need the money?”

They had no choice but to head to a corner to discuss Ling Yun’s bottom line.

Li Lei was the only one of the three that hadn’t been singled out by Ling Yun. However, he had had two previous brushes with Ling Yun. He had been slapped by Ling Yun several times! How did he dare to intervene now?

After a minute of whispering, Lu Chengtian came over to Ling Yun and whispered, “Big Brother Yun… We gave it some thought. I think we should pay you fifty thousand yuan…? Oh no, that’s wrong, a hundred thousand yuan…? Erm, two hundred thousand yuan?” Lu Chengtian was scared into submission. He changed his offers after Ling Yun glared at him.

Ling Yun nodded at that figure. “Okay, two hundred thousand yuan. It’s far from enough to compensate for the damage you dealt to me, but well, I am compassionate and soft-hearted. I won’t make any fuss about this any longer. Just get me the money!”

Lu Chengtian took out his wallet and dumped everything out hastily. He was just about to count them when Ling Yun interrupted, “Forget about counting that miserable pile of money. It’s definitely not enough. Tie Xiaohu, bring them to an ATM. Come back only when they have the full amount!”

“Alright, Big Brother Yun!” Tie Xiaohu agreed happily as he sneered at the three of them. “Don’t just stand there. Come with me!”

Lu Chengtian followed obediently, aware that they wouldn’t be able to escape. He did have two hundred thousand yuan in his card as the son of the secretary of education.

They bumped into Xie Junyan and Gou Junfa returning to the room. “Lu Chengtian, what is this? Where are you going?” Gou Junfa asked at the bewildering sight.

Lu Chengtian was in no mood to talk to Gou Junfa. He gave a long sigh and brushed past Gou Junfa.

The evil doers were receiving their retribution. Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan were now being thrown into the deep end of the pool.

Gou Junfa knew that Lu Chengtian must have been humiliated by Ling Yun from his dejected demeanor. He could ask about that later. He had to settle the more important matter at hand.

“Uncle Song, there is fifty million yuan on this card and twenty million yuan on this other card. I have sent for someone who will come soon with the last thirty million. Please hold on to these cards first. I will personally go to you to transfer the money to your account when the bank is open tomorrow.

It was not possible to transfer the money directly. It was a little over one in the morning and also the Qingming Festival holiday. Song Zhengyang agreed to the suggestion.

Gou Junfa regained his smugness. He raised his eyes and gave Ling Yun a sidelong glance. “Ling Yun, we are growing our friendship from our exchanges of blows. We have assembled our part. You should do the same, right?”

Ling Yun’s lips hooked up in a sly smile. “Gou Junfa, what are you talking about? How dare you talk about friendship with me? Who do you think you are?”

Ling Yun looked at the two bank cards on the table, smiled and said, “One hundred million is not enough. Two hundred million, now!”

“What?”

“Eh…?”

Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan were stunned! Hadn’t they agreed on one hundred million? Why did that become two hundred million now?

“Uncle Song, how can Ling Yun…” Xie Junyan quickly sought help from Song Zhengyang.

Song Zhengyang cast Ling Yun a doubtful look and expressed a slight displeasure.

Ling Yun was the one who had come up with the figure, and Gou Junfa and Xie Junyan had complied. On the other hand, Ling Yun had yet to come up with a single penny. Now he wanted to change the bet to two hundred million? Song Zhengyang was confused.

Ling Yun replied steadily. “Uncle Song, don’t be angry. They were betting with me as two separate entities. I am coming up with one hundred million. To be fair, they should come up with a hundred million each.”

Song Zhengyang agreed to the Ling Yun’s logic. There was no kinship involved in gambling. He turned his attention to Gou Junfa immediately.

“Uncle Song, that is not the case. We were betting as an entity against Ling Yun! Can’t that be the case?”

It was understandable. Song Zhengyang agreed and looked at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun’s eyes twinkled. “Xie Junyan, are you sure that you want to bet as well? I’ll give you one last chance to back out now. Don’t regret it later on!”

Ling Yun was right. Ling Yun and Xie Junyan didn’t have any bad blood between them. There was no need for Xie Junyan to jump into the fight. Ling Yun couldn’t help but remind Xie Junyan that he was rushing into an early grave.

Xie Junyan’s felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly felt that he had committed a big mistake but was unable to disembark. “That’s right. We are betting as one entity against you. Bring your money!”

“Okay, you asked for it!” Ling Yun stared at Xie Junyan as though he was dead. He clapped twice and sat back into the sofa casually. “No money!”

“What?”

“Eh…?”

“Big Brother Yun!” Tang Meng sprang up with sweat forming on his forehead!

“Ling Yun, what is the meaning of this?! You are not giving me any face!”

Song Zhengyang rose from his seat, unable to hold back anymore.
